UPI honors Robinson
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Navy's David Robinson, who in four years grew from an unnoticed small forward to the most dominant center in college basketball, yesterday was named United Press International's Player of the Year.
Robinson, 7-foot-1, averaged 28.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and a country's best 4.5 blocked shots in leading Navy to a 26.6 record and a third consecutive Colonial Athletic Association championship and NCAA tournament bid. He capped his collegiate career by scoring a school
record 50 points in the Midshipmen's opening-round loss to Michigan in the NCAA tournament.
NCAA basketball Robinson was selected by a panel of 50 sportswriters and broadcasters from across the country.
Clemens may sit out
HOUSTON — Pitcher Roger Clemens said yesterday he will sit out the whole season in his contract dispute with the Boston Red Sox if that is what it takes to get the club to recognize the value of his 1986 performance.
He said negotiations with the Red Sox were deadlocked because the club was trying to make an example of him.
The Red Sox have said the contract they are offering would make Clemens the highest-paid third-player in baseball
Speaking at a news conference, Clemens' agent, Randy Hendricks, said the pitcher wanted either a one-year contract or a two-year contract for $2.4 million.
The Red Sox' offer is a $500,000 base salary plus $475,000 worth of incentives. The fact that Clemens has stayed away from training camp for 20 days demonstrates he is serious about his demands, Hendricks said.
Clemens walked out of training camp at Winter Haven, Fla. March 6. The team has been fining him $1,000 daily since March 11.
